Vehicle Detail
Known issues:1) FM radio only heard through right channel. Every once in a while when driving on rough road the left channel will work for a few seconds. It's got to be a connection. AM and Tape work fine and come through both left and right channels. 2) The power antenna is suppose to go up and down when you turn the radio on and off. It stays up all the time. 3) The window wash works sometimes. When I first got the car it worked about half the time. For the past couple months it hasn't sprayed at all. 4) There are a few (4-5) light dings on the roof(see picture). The original owner said it was due to a hail storm some years ago. 5) The tires are in good shape. Fronts are at about 60% rears are at around 40% 6) Sap stains on the hood(see pic). A car very similar to this one sold on Ebay in September for $7500. That car had 34k miles so I know this one is worth a bit less. Search ebay completed auctions to see it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181213536885 Excellent condition. Always Garage kept.I bought this car 13 months ago in Melbourne, FL with 64k original miles on it.The original owner stopped driving it years ago due to her failing eyesight.She sold it to her neighbor when it became evident that she would never drive again.I bought it from her neighbor with the understanding that there were some issues with the fuel system. Normal for a car that has sat in a garage for a few years. The car runs great now I've been using it mostly for trips between Tarpon Springs and Orlando. On I-4 I've had it up to 90mph and it drives perfectly smooth. Not a single vibration. Here's what I've replaced over the past year:Fuel pumps.
